A jet of water with a cross-sectional area a is striking against a wall at an angle θ to the horizontal and rebounds elastically. If the velocity of water jet is v and the density is ρ, the normal force acting on the wall is

a
2av2ρ cos⁡θ
b
av2ρ cos⁡θ
c
2av ρ cos⁡θ
d
a2vρ cos⁡θ

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The normal force F acting on the wall is given byF=rate of change of momentum =(avρ)vcos⁡θ−(avρ)(−vcos⁡θ) =2av2ρcos⁡θ
